Project Management: Installation of Botts Dots for Cars in Fog Season

This project management assignment presents a comprehensive plan for the installation of Botts Dots to enhance car safety during fog season. The project begins with a project selection phase, defining the project title, description, scope, and life cycle plan. It progresses to detailed project planning, including a statement of work (SOW) outlining objectives, deliverables, technical requirements, and customer reviews. The assignment then covers project organization, work breakdown structure (WBS), organization breakdown structure (OBS), responsibility matrix, and a communication plan. Cost estimates and risk management strategies are also included. The project further delves into scheduling using MS Project, creating Gantt charts and AON diagrams. Resource allocation and leveling are addressed, followed by a project report submission plan, project closing plan, and the final project report. The project plan includes detailed cost estimates, a communication plan, and a risk management strategy, all visualized through MS Project, Gantt charts, and AON diagrams. The project also provides a project schedule, resource allocation, and a final project report. The project concludes with a focus on project closure and report submission.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Part 1- Project Selection
1.1 Project Title
The title of the project is “Installation of Botts Dots for Car in fog season”.
1.2 Project Description
The project mainly focusses on the installation of Botts Dotts for fog season in order
to ensure the safety of the cars that generally pass through the roads during the fog season. It
is identified that the fog would generally helpful in reducing the visibility of the car from
distance and helps in creating some issues during driving and thus Botts Dotts would be quite
helpful in decreasing the probability of the occurrence and assists in forming effective flow of
traffic.
1.3 Scope
The in-scope of the project include:
 Developing effective design outline
 Undertaking design analysis
 Developing proper interface
 Coding sensor programming
 Installing sensor
 Connecting the solar batteries
1.4 Project life cycle plan
The project life cycle plan mainly includes four phases initiation, planning, execution as
well as closure. Each phase of the project life cycle has some tasks that needs to be completed
in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the project. It is identified that each of the step
plays a crucial role in finishing the entire project successfully.
